Tasting notes
-
Nose
Pineapple, lime zest, and green apple — bright citrus and orchard fruit, fresh rather than floral-heavy.
-
Palate
Bright citrus from the first sip. Pineapple and lime zest lead; green apple keeps the line crisp. Medium body with balanced sweetness — fruit and acid share the mid-palate without tipping candy-sweet. Soft sparkle keeps it lively.
-
Finish
Clean, dry-leaning, and persistent — clears into a long citrus-apple edge without sticky hang or sweetness.
The wine
Zip first. The can reads sparkling and the sip is citrus before it is soft — pineapple and lime zest open, green apple keeps the line crisp, and bright acidity carries a medium frame so the glass never turns thin or soda-flat. Balanced sweetness rounds the edges without sticky hang.
Medium body holds. Soft bead keeps it lively; the mid-palate stays fruit and acid rather than sugar. Zippy acidity does the work without flashing harsh. What remains is clean and dry-leaning with real persistence — citrus and apple on a long close, not a short patio flick. Eighty-four sits on that zip and length.
It will not give you Champagne tautness or oak weight. It gives you bright white-grape fruit with a finish that holds — pineapple that stays fresh, lime zest that stays sharp, green apple that keeps the close dry-leaning. Serve it well chilled in a white-wine glass or straight from the can. Warm, the pineapple fattens and the dry edge softens; cold keeps the lime zest sharp. For aperitif, light meals, or a zippy sparkling white pour, that clean dry-leaning persistent line is the point.
